[omniORB] ir.idl?

[Sai-Lai Lo]

Mike,

Because what is defined in corbaidl.idl and ir.idl appears within the CORBA
namespace, we have to treat the header files differently so that the
declarations appear in the right scope even for the compilers that does not
support namespace. The consequence is that the header files for these 2
idls are splitted into several fragments and got included from CORBA.h at
several different places.

Simply put it, corbaidl.hh and ir.hh does not exist and does not needed to
be included.

Please add the following to the end of CORBA.h

#ifndef __corbaidl_hh_EXTERNAL_GUARD__
#define __corbaidl_hh_EXTERNAL_GUARD__
#endif
#ifdef ENABLE_CLIENT_IR_SUPPORT
#ifndef __ir_hh_EXTERNAL_GUARD__
#define __ir_hh_EXTERNAL_GUARD__
#endif
#endif

This disables the include in the COSQuery stub header and you will be fine
as long as you define ENABLE_CLIENT_IR_SUPPORT.

Regards,

Sai-Lai
